Next 3 years, I want Tria Kenya to grow even further to reach USD 2-3 million turnover. In Tanzania I would like it to hit the $1m dollar mark. And then also open up operations in Uganda so we are covering all the major East African countries. Having said that, it is my dream to own a radio station so depending on the opportunity at hand, I would like one day to have Radio Tria!

For Society Stores, the plan is to open up more outlets around the country. I have personally put a target of having 5 stores in another 1 and a half years which means I need to open an outlet every 4 months.

As much as I set target as to where I want to reach by a certain time and age, my growth will always come from the risks and opportunities that I will continue taking. As I said before, my ambition has no limit and no end

Any words of wisdom for young African entrepreneurs that are afraid of starting something?

The biggest fear you should have in life is not doing enough with it. I am not afraid of death but afraid of dying too early before I have fulfilled all that I need to.

A lot of young African entrepreneurs have great ideas, but do not have the courage or mindset to take the risk with their idea and action. So in the end, they end up being their own biggest barrier to success purely because they lack self-belief and self-confidence and a positive mindset which forms the core of the success. Yet they will find excuses that it is their family or society or their employers that are holding them back. If you do not take risks in life, then what is the point of living, where you are chained by your own fears of failure. You have to break yourself free in order to experience your true fullest potential.
